Epic Cleaning up the Gears of War 3 Leak

4.3

Gears of War 3 hit the web in one of the biggest leaks in the gaming world this year. The blockbuster franchise which is set to release it's third installement found it's way to modified Xbox 360 consoles, the consequently wiggled it's way onto YouTube and other streaming video sites. The flood gates have been opened as far as Gears of War 3 information goes, but Epic is working to try and contain the leak, or at least punish those that are responsible for it.

Dana Cowley of Epic Games released a statement on the matter.
"We have seen the reports of Gears of War 3 content being propped on the web and working closely with our security teams and law enforcement to address the situation. This content is not from a final build and is not representative of what fans will enjoy when the game launches worldwide on Septemeber 20, 2011."

Epic is also working to have the content removed from multiple torrent sites which are hosting the game for download, but as these things go, it will be hard to contain the content now that it has hit the web. The good part about the leak is that only a small minority of users that have modified Xbox 360's can play the content. The bad part is, it only takes one person to release the spoilers that can ruin the game for fans of the franchise.

an_ELiTE_OTTeR how is the game right now?

The game has its bugs. But overall, it's pretty well built, fun to play, and somewhat stable. (Beast mode is hard as hell, and Horde 2.0 is like Nazi Zombies.)
A few bugs are when you press the guide button in game, the gameplay freezes, but your console doesn't. You can still pause/guide/etc, but the only way to play again is to exit to main menu.
After you exit to main menu, the menu is blurry and unusable.

Sound pretty good

it's not even done! The campaign is still being tweaked, like they said the final installment hasn't been completed so to all those who have the game right now I'm sorry but your stupid because you don't even have the full game yet!
